TPE material is characterized by good elasticity, strong water absorption, short service life and easy to slide to the ground when it meets water.

NBR material is characterized by its thickness, low density and light weight, which is suitable for people with sensitive joints, but its elasticity is average and its anti-skid performance is poor. Natural rubber material has high elasticity, anti-slip and operation resistance, simple maintenance method, but poor water absorption, and the price of natural rubber yoga mat is also very high.

Of these two materials, TPE is the first choice for yoga beginners, followed by natural rubber, and NBR is the most suitable one.

Method 2: Select the appropriate thickness.

The size of the international standard yoga mat is 183cm*6 1cm*6mm, but we can actually see many widened and thickened yoga mats in our daily life.

However, is it really useful to widen and thicken the yoga mat? Actually, it is not. For yoga mats, the width and length can be changed. After all, everyone's figure is different, but the thickness of the yoga mat must be selected according to certain reference standards.

Generally, the thickness of yoga mats can be divided into three categories: 8mm- 10mm, 6mm-8mm, and1mm-5 mm. Of these three thicknesses, the second one is most suitable for beginners or intermediate yoga players. Beginners mainly pursue comfort, so a yoga mat with moderate thickness can protect beginners from being bruised. One third of the thickness of the yoga mat is suitable for senior yoga players and above. Advanced yoga players pay more attention to balance and stability in the process of contact with yoga.

Therefore, thinner electrons make it easier for people to grasp the floor and keep their bodies stable. Yoga mats with the first thickness are not recommended. Yoga mats over 8mm are too thick, which will easily lead to the loss of center of gravity in the process of learning yoga. Therefore, the thicker the yoga mat, the better. The thicker the cushion, the more difficult it is to balance.

Method 3: Define your own budget.

At present, there are more and more brands of yoga mats on the market, which makes many yoga beginners see things in a blur and don't know how to choose. First, we need to be clear about our budget. Within the budget of 100 yuan, you can choose some brands with high cost performance. Such as the common Upanishads, Jade Bird cards and so on. If the budget is above 500, you can choose to buy some high-end brands, such as Mantuoka, Lulu Lemon, Jade Yoga and so on. In addition, there are some common sports brands, such as Adidas, keep, Li Ning and Nike.

The above three methods can help us quickly understand the basic knowledge about yoga mats. To sum up, for beginners of yoga, the first consideration in the process of purchasing yoga mats is the comfort of yoga mats. A more comfortable yoga mat can help us enter the practice state quickly, so beginners can choose a 6mm mat, followed by the non-slip performance of the yoga mat. In general, good anti-skid performance can help beginners complete some difficult movements, such as jumping. Finally, when choosing a brand, you can start with a set of cost-effective yoga mats within 100 yuan, and then buy some high-end brand yoga mats when your technical level improves.
